Abstract

The engineer will try to reduce the number of development well during development due to the effect of economic well spacing of metamorphic buried hill reservoir. So it is vital to carry out proper well location to improve the recovery of metamorphic reservoir. Take an oil field for an example to research elaboration of reservoir mode, quantitative characterization of seepage mechanism at dual-porosity reservoir, optimization of new well pattern mode, and formulation of rational development technology policy to form the high-efficiency development key technique of well pattern of metamorphic rock reservoir. First, verifying the effectiveness of narrow azimuth seismic data fractures detection according to wave equation for fracture anisotropy; second, a new top-bottom interlaced injection-production well deployment model concerning the horizontal well was presented based on the reservoir numerical simulation. Besides, the reasonable oil production rate of oil reservoir shall be controlled at 2.7–3.2%, and depletion development can be carried out at initial stage until that the formation pressure level maintains at 80% of formation pressure, and then the development mode of water flooding to keep pressure can be implemented; finally, these suggestions were inspected and different water breakthrough models of the horizontal well and diagnosis charts were simulated according to the pilot production data at the work zone. The oil field practice shows that these techniques can greatly improve the output and the recovery of crude oil.
